It was that number to which I was referring. I saw that this message was cross-posted to git@vger.kernel.org, which no doubt has many, many more than 60. Perhaps this is where the 853 figure comes from?

You're right, many people probably *would* be unaware of the convention on anything other than a small list, i.e. 60 members. ;) If the list were bigger, say for instance 853, the solution I proposed would be too cumbersome. > > Recently Shawn mentioned that there are 853 members.
